T
he IT Directors Committee meets 3-5 times a year, usually at the WSCPA office in Bellevue. Occasionally the committee will meet at a member’s office for “show and tell,” if they have installed a new technology and would like to share with the group. The committee works to facilitate an environment for information sharing between the members of the WSCPA. At each meeting the committee strives to do the following: • •
•

Provide value to the committee membership; Assess and recommend technology services, processes, software and hardware that would be beneficial to members; Discuss the latest IT changes in an everchanging technologically advanced world; Seek innovative and creative opportunities in order to improve information technologies; Strive to make technology integrate seamlessly with your business; and Make technology an asset for your business, not a problem.
WSCPA depends upon the active participation of member companies and their employees for the committee’s success. If you are already a committee member, but haven’t been active, consider attending in 2014. If you aren’t a member, consider joining and learn how the IT Directors Committee might enhance your practice. To learn more contact memberservices@wscpa.org or call (425) 644-4800.
